WordPress Capabilities

  • I am currently using version 2.6.5 because when I attempted to upgrade the feature of setting a post to publish in the future was not working, it was frequently not publishing them on time.

    From what I’ve read in your great support forums there are fixes for that, so I’d like to upgrade to 2.8.1 to see if the problem is resolved.

    However, I’m concerned that our website might be outgrowing wordpress and I’ve had trouble finding a definitive answer about the capabilities of wordpress for sites with a large amount of data and traffic.

    We have about 1000 posts, 30 pages and we add 3 to 4 posts a day. We get about 15K to 45K visitors a day.

    Should I be worried about us outgrowing wordpress or are we still too small for that to be a large concern? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • you can’t really outgrow wordpress
    you can conceivably outgrow your file server or mysql server

    Thank you for your response. I suspected that was the case and that the only bottle neck potential would be my mysql server.

    Do you know if it possible to synchronize several mysql servers and then employ a load balancing solution?

    I know it’s possible to do that with wordpress installations all using the same mysql server, but then the real bottle neck would be getting the data out of the single mysql database.

    Also, I have been thinking of using WordPress MU to allow for our subscribers to have their own blogs within our site, so I’m curious if any solution proposed would also be supported through WordPress MU.

    Thanks again for your response.
